The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza – Danza III: The Series of Unfortunate Events (2010)

There are a few things that make us think WTF, recently the movie “The Human Centipede” and Comparative Anatomy’s “Mammalia” have produced some of those epic reactions. Well, today we have another one of these priceless reactions with The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza’s new album “Danaza III”. We have heard the band before and their previous bizarre albums, but we quite didn’t expect this one either.

Moving into a very brutal territory, this American trio has managed to release one of the most dissonantly brilliant albums of 2010. The band takes many ideas from movies and just about any other random shit (like Tony Danza) and merges them together in a chaotic fashion to make a brutal yet highly original release.

Waking the Cadaver – Beyond Cops. Beyond God. (2010)

If it wasn’t enough that all the kiddies are playing Deathcore these days, we now have BRUTAL, yes BRUTAL Deathcore. We can definitely can notice an extra ‘aggression’ level in Waking the Cadaver’s Deathcore sound making it much more brutal, but it still borders with the Death/Grind bands of a few years ago.

The band call their style “Slamming Gore Groove” and we think this is downright hilarious, there aren’t enough Groove elements to categorize this release like this, but we can see that there is some Grooviness to their music. We can’t really find the ‘innovative’ aspect of this band anywhere since they just sound like a really pissed off version of Black Dahlia Murder without their occasional good riff.

Divinity – The Singularity (2010)

There are countless European bands that play great Melodic Death Metal with hints of Progressive, Thrash and even Modern Metal elements, but there aren’t many that can pull it off on this side of the pond. Canadian Divinity is one of the few that can make this claim on North America and it’s ready to kick-ass at a world wide level.

The band originally self-released ‘The Singularity” late in 2009 and has gotten rave reviews from almost everywhere we can see, and this comes as no surprise since this release is top-notch and puts many others to shame. While we personally would categorize Divinity as a Modern Metal band, there are so many genres fuse together that it would be completely unfair to rule them out based on their ‘primary’ style.

Blaze Bayley – Promise and Terror (2010)

cover

Charismatic Iron Maiden’s ex-frontman Blaze Bayley returns with his latest album “Promise and Terror”. After the second implosion in 2007 or Blaze, he formed a completely new band and modestly named it after himself (who wouldn’t!). Anyways, the new Blaze Bayley band sounds as good as ever and “Promise and Terror” is a very powerful Heavy Metal release that showcases Bayley’s vocals in almost every single angle possible.

Featuring a very solid band behind him, Bayley is back in full form and his singing sounds as good as it did with Iron Maiden (don’t hate, he is a good singer). The feeling behind the songs is at an all-time high since some lyrics are very personal to Bayley. The overall sound of the album is also very dark and works wonders with his singing style.
